  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

Input reference and sample values

Use the units and choices shown for each field. Sample values are provided for practice, not as recommendations.

InputFormat and unitsSample
Trip distanceNumeric value. Unit: km. Zero or positive.250
Energy consumptionNumeric value. Unit: kWh/100 km. Must be greater than zero.18

Result for these sample inputs

45 kWh

Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.

The method, explained

Energy = distance × consumption/100.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using trip distance = 250 km, energy consumption = 18 kWh/100 km, the result is 45 kWh. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Battery energy only; charger losses are excluded. Planning arithmetic based on your inputs. It does not include live traffic, road restrictions, fares or service availability.
